@ChaoticFox@LPFan@Sovi3t@CadenGallic@6slyboy6@Treue@King Tai

I've Added the rules and mechanics in the post above this one ^^^ and Ive added the profile for the commentators in the original post.

Still accepting new players if any join and I'll be adding new racers as we go along.

But we should be getting started very soon, let me know if there are any more questions regarding the rules. (I will add them to the original post as well.)

Dystopian Grand Prix

Racing Mechanics & Rules

1. The Risk Rally/DGP is a simple points based series of races. Each individual race will award points to the podium position racers (1st 2nd 3rd) and a few to the rest (4th etc) depending on how many are in the race (up to 10).
For Example:
1st 12 points
2nd 9 points
3rd 7 points

The actual GP comprises of multiple races and leagues.

2.
I as the GM will be in control of the Non-Player Racers and the Commentators (Rob and Griff). The Commentators will be giving regular updates on who's in what position in the race, and any major occurrences (like a crash) as well as general color commentary. As a player you cannot decide when to overtake your opponent, you can simply drive, and based on your stats and how you describe yourself driving and navigating the course will you improve your position. If you are described as close or near to another opponent, you can take your chances with ramming them or attacking with you melee weapon.

3.
There will be two images for each race track one will be the 'flavour' image which will give you a rough idea of what the track and its surroundings look like. And the other will be a circuit image, which will literally be the outline of the track. I will be adding comments if there are particular hazards, weather conditions or road types worth mentioning. But we will follow the circuit fairly closely and you will take your corners where appropriate on the map, here is an example.

4.
Certain regular racing skills can be used, the first is Drifting, you can attempt a drift on any corner, while drifting you will lose very little speed when turning and be able to cancel a slipstream if an opponent is behind you. However, every drift is a risk, you can ATTEMPT a drift when ever you like, but depending on your grip, the road type, acceleration and general speed and weight (frame) of the vehicle going into the corner I will decide how well your drift actually goes. Now even clunky machines with poor grip can occasionally pull off a perfect drift but the chances are much lower than a light machine with excellent grip. Your drift will have varying levels of success from perfect, to good, to poor, to spin-out. Which may result in a crash.

The other mechanic is the Slipstream. You may increase your speed by driving directly behind an opponent to decrease the wind resistance in front of you. A common tactic is to ride an opponents slipstream all the way next to them and the hitting them in corner side with a vicious PIT maneuver. Slipstreams are a lot harder to catch when turning corners and your slipstream wont be as effective if your catching one off a vehicle that is smaller than your own.

5.
Combat is handled in the same way as all my other RPs its essentially arena rules (no auto-hitting) except the GM can declare a hit if I feel necessary. You can attempt to dodge but in your car every dodge is going to be a swerve which will effect you racing performance, (and you might just get hit anyway). If your car does take a hit, depending on your frame and the enemy firepower or frame. You will lose a percentage of your car's 'health. At the start of a race everyone starts with 100% (which will be monitored by the play-by-play commentary). If this health drops to 10% your car is in critical condition which you then can choose to bail, which will end the current race for you and you will take last place or you can continue to race, Meaning you can still win, but if your craft hits 0% your vehicle will be destroyed and your character may die. Even if they make it out alive somehow, they will miss the next race while their vehicle is reassembled.

@ChaoticFox I love how quickly and reliably you can knock out a CS, approved old friend :)

The Unpopular Opinions Thread.

men's rights is less about the actual rights of men and more about hating feminism, no matter what anyone says. if it was actually about men's rights, they'd care a lot more about lgbt men, men of color, disabled men, etc. instead all they care about is whining about how the evil women are keeping them down.

edit: also, more than 2 genders exist. the idea of a third gender/not being male or female is in a whole lot of cultures.

@Mysaren

Ive been trying to say this to @Weird Tales but hes too head deep in the manosphere, mountain dew and milo to hear any opposing opinions.

I like their news. They are the anti left version of the young turks. The rebel media is basically making fun of and showing the hypocrisy of Social Justice Warriors who have the power and influence to make changes in society.

@Dynamo Frokane
There will be non armed races too?
Aw damn son. Can I have 2 cars maybe? I can say the Masked stole another car from the old gang lolz
How many non armed races were you thinking of? Cause, you know, good grip is the only thing holding some of our rides in the race when it comes to NOT shooting enemies.
Maybe we could improve our non armed stats by taking the weapons and armor plates off our vehicles? Sounds like a reasonable exchnage for like 5-10 extra points of stats for race oriented abilities.
But w/e you are the GM, its your shot

@6slyboy6

Stats stay the same, melee weapons are still usable in non armed races And sometimes in car firearms too (will get into that later) every race has different rules and restrictions. Even with a firepower specialized vehicle you will still be dangerous in non armed races.

My car is fast, therefor my weapon is useless. I'll probably use it defensively.

@Treue

thats a good idea, because youll still be caught up on, some of the hairpin turns on these tracks aint friendly.
